Having BIG TIME traction problems!!! Ok got a 02 T/A just a regular TA NOT a WS6....so the tires are the 16x8 (i believe) maybe 16x9........just recently installed cam and putting 393rwhp....so with the big power increase resulted in when accelerating hard having very hard time keeping traction.....i dont want to git bigger tires really due to money reasons is there any other option i have to go with.....or am i just stuck gitting bigger tires.....someone said to git drag radials never had any experience with them so i dont know how they proform.......please help
Your gonna have to get bigger tires. DR's if you really want some traction. I could spin my stock tires forever without as much power as you have...I guess they just suck for traction
you wll need ATLEAST a drag radial if you are auto.. a slick at the track if you are manual.
You will need a bigger tire too. Not to bad though.. pretty cheap to come back for a set of 17 inch rims on a 9.5 or 10 tire.
Go get some tires and post those times man!
Good luck bro!
